I actually like the contrast your original wheels provide the best.
To each his own.

I had a black Mustang once and loved it, but I would never own another. Black is just way too difficult to keep clean. If you can keep it clean, it looks great.

Black is tough to keep clean but it hardly ever rains around here so its
mostly a dust off with a microfiber towell and quick detailer.Every day
The original wheels wernt bad at all but they were 17x 8's w/235's.
And now its a bit meaner looking with 18x9 wheels w/255's.

Nice ride, I'm not feeling the same love for the dark colors. It's been constant rain for the fast 2 weeks, and another one forcasted....I have that new Lava Red stang, don't get me wrong I love the color I just hate all the spots on it, and I don't have the motivation to clean it just to get rained on again. Tempted to keep it in the garage, but then I have to move my heavy bag and everything every day to park it in there.

Me too. Just the overnight dew would make mine look like crap. It's not a lazy man's color for sure.

I love how it looks. I own a black 07 GT and I was thinking getting black rims on it too. Now I definitely will get them. Did you purchase them online? for how much?

Bought them online from .....
2005-12 Mustang Wheels at LRS - Same Day Shipping!
They are lighter than most replicas at 27lbs each.
